Fashion and lifestyle brand Jack Wills is to open a new store at the Bluewater shopping centre.

The 3,487 sq ft store on Bluewater’s lower Guildhall will open in time for Christmas and will stock the brand’s full range of clothing for men and women, homewares and gifts.

Guy Thomas, head of retail leasing at Bluewater operator Lend Lease Retail, said: “Jack Wills is the latest in a series of premium retailers to select Bluewater to create a statement store that will bring its brand to life for Bluewater’s guests. Jack Wills is another great addition to Bluewater’s line-up, and is further endorsement of its position as a key strategic location for leading UK and international brands.”

Jack Wills currently has 81 stores worldwide including 59 in the UK and Ireland, 15 in the US, four in the Middle East and three in Hong Kong. The company is planning further expansion with a focus on international markets.

Bluewater’s other recent signings include Cadenza, Triumph and Superdry with 20 brands committing to the shopping centre in the last six months.
